Book One: STEEL Steel is the fierce and feared President of the Night Rebels MC, one of the most notorious outlaw clubs in Colorado. With his tatted muscular body, ebony hair, and green eyes, he is a magnet to women. Never turning away a sexy body, he indulges in casual sex, but nothing more. Until he meets his daughter’s feisty social worker, Breanna. Their attraction is intense. Steel has his hands full when danger comes knocking at his door. Time is running out as a dark force threatens to destroy his family and Breanna—the woman whom he has vowed to make his own. Book Two: MUERTO Muerto, six feet of muscles and tats, is an officer in the Night Rebels MC. Women clamor to him, but he’s never found a woman who stirs something deep inside him. Until Raven comes into the club’s pool hall, hustles the customers, and then gives him some attitude. Her boldness and sassiness pique his interest, and her smoky gray eyes pull him right in. Raven is drawn to the handsome biker, but she’s sure he’s nothing but a heartbreaker. Slowly she lets her guard down and allows herself to trust him. But unknown to her, someone is lurking in the darkness watching her ... waiting to strike. Will Muerto be able to save her in time? Book Three: DIABLO Diablo, Sergeant-At-Arms of the Night Rebels MC, doesn’t chase women the way his fellow brothers do. Even though women flock to him, he pushes them away. His past haunts him and rage burns deep inside him. But when he sees Fallon—his employer’s daughter—her hazel eyes reflect sadness and regret, and he’s drawn to the loneliness that fills her up. He knows he should stay away from her but he can’t. Fallon doesn’t trust men, but when her eyes lock with Diablo’s, she sees kindness behind his rough and gruff exterior.

Hailey can’t believe what a hunk her brother’s best friend turned out to be all these years later. She’s always had a crush on him, and now they are both all grown up. Goldie appreciates that Hailey has filled out so nicely in all the right places, and he knows he should stay away from her. She’s off limits and he should forget all about her. The problem is that he can’t Hailey or her sweet tattoo out of his mind. Forbidden love never tasted so sweet. Now all they have to do is make sure no one finds out and all will be good. Yeah … right. Each of the books in the Insurgents MC Romance Series are standalone romance novels. The books contain violence, sexual assault (not graphic), strong language, and steamy/graphic sexual scenes. They describe the life and actions of an outlaw motorcycle club. HEA. No cliffhangers.
